    Let's face it, the season is over for us.

    So, how do you feel about season 2014 / 5

    Less optimistic

    Same?

    Depends on who leaves and who is brought in for me. As it stands, I'd take 12th place next season right now.

    Less optimistic - I just cannot see Monk doing any better than currently. I could well be wrong and I hope I am. As Valley says, depends who comes and goes and that could apply to coaching staff as well as players.

    I just don't have that optimism of previous seasons. Saying that, us fans will always be excited when kick off actually comes around and a roller coaster in the bottom half is never dull!

    I had the same feeling about laudrup and look what happened to him but i have more optimism now we are getting the club back running properly again. Mid table would be dandy..<ok>

    Well at least we'll either know who the manager is before the season ends or we'll have a new name before the season starts. either way it'll be the first in a long time that we're not looking over our shoulder wondering if the manger is off ski :grin:, although it would be funny if someone else offered Monk a post elsewhere .

    Right now - very disillusioned, way less optimistic than I was for this season.

    That may change of course - will just have to see where we're at come the start of the season.

    Less optimistic for me at present. When the first game of the season is upon us, then I will have gut instinct on where we will be.

    Same - same as for the three seasons will take 17th because I believe there will be at least 3 teams worse than us. Anything else will be a bonus.

    Less optimistic as things stand. If you offered me 17th place right now I'd snatch your hand off.

    I'm cautiously optimistic for next season, I do not think we will lose many players if any, and I do not think we will lose Bony or Michu, I have a sneaky feeling that Huw will bring in Emnes on a permanent deal, all monk has to do is sort out the dead wood. I am only cautious over next season due to Monk, but he could surprise us all, and that would be brilliant so bring it on!...........<cheers>

    I once said on here "Is this good fortune ever going to end " well I just can't see it ending.....we made 30 million £ over the past 2 seasons , we will make a bunch more from sales again and probably scrape through for a 5th season in the Premier .Thats my prediction , money made and somehow avoid relegation. Where relegation wasn't an issue before though , it will be from here. Huws going to do what he does best , batton down the financial hatches come what may . I' m pumped though , everyone wants what we have , success without spending.
